VICTORIA INDIGNANT OVSR THE
RECENT INCIDENTS.
The Dominion Officials at Ottawa
Awaiting Official Advice3 Before
Taking Actlon-Doubc Whether the
Captured Craft Will Obey the
Revenue Cutter’s Orders if Only
One Man Is Put on Board of Her.
Toronto, July 31.—A special dispatch to
tho Empire from Ottawa says: “The latest
account of piracy by the United States au
thorities in Behring sea continues to be
much discussed iu official circles. A dis
patch has been received at the fisheries de
partment from Mr. Baker, M. P. giving ad
ditional particulars of the selzuro of the
Black Diamond. It appears that the ves
sel was seized when seventy miles from
land. Mr. Baker says that a
strong feeling of resentment and in
dignation has been engendered among the
inhabitants of British Columbia bv this
wanton outrage, -and that a meeting of the
citizens of Victoria is to be held to express
their indignation. This dispatch was under
consideration by the council yesterday.
C ntil an official report is before the govern
ment, no action can be taken and the min
ister of customs accordingly telegraphed to
the collector at Victoria to forward full
particulars without loss of time. Collector
Hamly’s reply was received by Hon. Mr.
Bowel! last evening, but it appears that the
information which he has to give is no
fuller than that already published.”
INDIGNATION AT VICTORIA.
A ictoria, B. C., July 31. —ludignation
is felt here over the seizure of the schooner
Black Diamond, in Behring sea, by tho
United States re venue cutt.or Richard Rush.
A public mooting will probably be held and
resolutions passed for the transmission to
the imperial parliament asking that tho im
perial government interfere in liehalf of
British vessels engaged in the sealing trade.
It is believed here that if but one man has
been placed aboard tho Black Diamond hor
captain will not obey the Kush’s orders aud
will sail for Victoria instead of Sitka.
NOT CONSIDERED BY THE CABINET.
Ottawa, Ont., July 31. — The report that
tho cabinet is considering the Behring so i
matter is untrue. Tho minister of customs
has telegraph-) 1 Victoria, B. C., for a re
port of the affair. As soon as it comes to
hand a strong remonstrance will bo sub
mitted to the imperial government.
Sir John Thompson, minister of justice,
this afternoon signed a warrant for the ex
tradition of Burke, charged with the mur
der of Dr. Crouin at Chicago.
NO INFORMATION AT WASHINGTON.
AVashington, July 31.—Inquiry at tho
department of state this morning was met
by a statement that there was absolutely
no information there respecting the seizures
of the Triumph aud Black Diamond by the
revenue cutter Rush for sealing iu Behring
sea, except that contained iu the Associate) l
Eross dispatches on the subject. In
conversation with a prominent official
he said that whatever might have been t he
policy and feeling of the last administra
tion it was evident that the present admin
istration did not look with disfavor upon
seizures of British or other vessels suspected
of poaching upon the United States seal
grounds.
NO KNOWLEDGE OF AN UNDERSTANDING.
As to the report thajt 'an understanding
existed by which tho British government
was not to take notice of such seizures, he
know nothing. If any such agreement ex
isted he was not aware of it. The case of
the seizure and search of the Triumph,
which was afterward released, this official
intimated, might boa mure serious mat
ter than the seizure and detention of the
Black Diamond, for it involved the right of
the United States to seize airtf-Search sus
pected vessels outside of what is conceded
to be the limits of the jurisdiction of the
United States. This government, he said,
claims that right within the limit not yet’
acknowledged by England, and the settle
ment ot tho question ufter all is to t>e one
of jurisdiction.
ENGLAND HOPES FOR PEACE.
Lord Salisbury’s Speech at the Minis
terial Banquet.
London, July 31. —Lord Salisbury speak
ing at the annual ministerial banquet at
the Mansion house this evening, said that
England’s aim in foreign affairs was always
peace with honor. The thunder clou ls of
war still overcast Europe. Concerning the
immediate danger of a conflict ho regarded
the vast preparations that had been
made as a great security for peace. The
issues involved in was would bo so fright
ful that nations shrank from challenging
each other. Tpe events In Egypt did not
menace the permanent prosperity of that
country. The disorder on the frontier
would bo suppressed. England had entered
into engagements not to abandon Egypt
until the Hitter nas capable of*niaintaimng
her own government in tho face of foes,
and these engagements England would
assuredly fulfill.
Crete’s troubles.
Referring to Crete, he did not consider
that there was any need to fear that the
present movement would load to European
disturbances. He repudiated the remotest
desire of seoing England iu possession of
Crete. Tho reports current to that effect
throughout the continent were with
out foundation. Referring briefly to
Ireland, ho held that the result of the gov
ernment’s action was the bringing of order
and prosperity throughout the country, and
that if any section of peasantry believed
t’flit their interests lay rather in defying
than in obeying the law, that illusion was
rapidly disappearing.

lution of the question an imperial loan of
not 10-s than £100,000,000, to enable the
tenants to buy their holdings, local bodies
controlling the rate—collected revenues to
become security for the payment of the
loan. Ho pointed out that this scheme
made it necessary that Ireland remain

up - in arms to-day and would like to get

the matter. In reply they addressed the
following:
Brunswick. Ga., July 31, 1889 —The rumor
that yellow fever exists here is without founda
tion and is absolutely false. There is no ground
at all for tbe report.
M. J. Colson. Mayor,
J. A. UrNwooriy. Health Officer,
J. A. Butts, M. D., Chinn. IS. 11.,
H. Burfohd, M. D.
dr. POSEY INTERVIEWED.

J. L. Posey, M. D.. of the marine hospital
service, who was ordered here to investi
gate the rumors. Ho was not at liberty to
give to the public the result of' his invosti-.
gallon before it -had been forwarded to
Washington, but enough was learned frou'i
him to warrant the Statement that his re
port will declare tho rumors to he false,
and also that ho has found but a few ca as
of sickness in Brunswick, and those
are of a mild type. He will
say further that siesnesfi is more
ou the decrease here than otherwise.
